 # Personal Knowledge Management
 
-PKM requires [[note-taking]],
+PKM requires taking notes,
+but implies additional discipline not implied by "[[note-taking]]".
+
+PKM allows one to forget things they _know_
+to make room for ideas they're considering.
+For this reason terse notes filled with acronyms and abbreviations
+are as good as useless.
+It is not acceptable to omit details
+believed to be implied by the context.
+One must write with clarity sufficient for an outsider to understand,
+because the writer will eventually be the outsider.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+Getting started with PKM will feel so intimidating that you'll want to give up,
+but there's a surprisingly large amount of content on how to do it,
+especially with [Obsidian](https://www.google.com/search?q=getting+started+with+obsidian).
+
+Note that PKM gets a lot of hype from productivity influencers
+so you may leave some of those videos feeling like you need to pick up bouldering.
+
+It speaks to the highly personal nature of PKM that of these hundreds
+there is no consensus larger than two on best practice.
